Lovin' Liberty...Still

I woke up to a crisp winter morning today.  By the time I could grab my camera and put on my hat and mittens, the neighbours were out having breakfast.


I was lucky enough to have a little parcel waiting for me last night.  I could not resist a little online shopping spree a few days ago to stock up on Liberty for a project I have in mind.  I needed one red print and one deep blue print and was lucky enough to find two I did not already have.


If I am honest, they would not be my first choice in prints.  Well, clearly they did not call my name when I was snapping up FQs at the Knitting and Stitching show.  Still, when you look at them closely they are pretty.



Most importantly I do like them with their FQ counterparts.  I'm ready to start cutting, then!  Will I tell you what project I have in mind?  Nope...might leave you in suspense a bit longer.  What I have in mind is so 2012, but I've never been one for keeping up with trends!

  2. I love the red one! It would make the 'A' team in this house. Off you go then, start cutting and then you can let us in on this secret project.

  3. I think Liberty is sometimes a Marmite fabric - we love it 'cos it's Liberty, but would hate it if it had a different name on it?!?

  15. I have a Liberty horde which started in my clothes making days! So one day I must do a Liberty quilt or they will be able to bury me in Liberty!

    Intrigued ! Maybe you will be starting the revival! The second wave! Keep going then...

  16. Oh go with 2012, every time, Retro is in, you know!

    I have those prints in a charm bundle of liberty, which is just getting to the yes, I know what I am doing stage of development!

    And liberty prints are funny, If you look too closely, or, anyway if I do, I do not like them. From further off, or put together I love them! So I understand where you are coming from with that!
